Hi Tom, Good questions. There is no best CS per se. The regime I will be best for intra-cellular use as it is the smallest atoms, and molecules in size. The regime II is the most common, thats what most of us make (its yellow). Good for intra-cellular and inter-cellular use, contains regine I small particles and of course, regime II medium size particles. The regime III is the largest particles, very good for topical use and general spraying around. Of course the regime III will also contain regime I and regime II size particles, although in smaller percentages of the total fluid. Color wise all of the regimes will produce clear fluid. As particle size becomes larger the flockulation will be faster. i.e. Regime I will stay clear a long time, regime II will stay clear a shorter time and regime III will not stay clear very long. As the density of the particles becomes greater in the fluid the natural molecule desire to flockulate will become greater. Don`t confuse density of molecules with size of molecules. Most regime III will begin flockulation as soon as the power is removed. The regime II may go many hours or days before it shows signs of flockulation. Regime I may not flockulate for a long time(I have seen months). The density is a major factor in flockulation. Higher density will flockulate sooner. Flockulation is not clumping. If you stick two mud balls together thats a clump, NO structure to it. Flockulation is the atoms, ions,and molecules recombining into a new and different structure. The new structure will change the color of the CS, as you have seen and noted. Clear is not a good word to describe clarity of the fluid. The prefered word is turbidity. It has its own meaning. Would you like a good limiting regulator circuit?
